Missing My Bling

Time: 9:10pm
Mood: Less stressed than I was earlier!
Song of the moment: Ne-Yo - Sexy Love

Wow my iTunes took forever to load up! I guess it's time to reconfigure my hard drive perhaps? Or maybe I should start clearing out my hard drive.... I have 5GBs left on my C-drive :S Lucky for me Jimmy just installed a 120GB second drive in my computer (sweet! perks on having a honey working for IT! Free computer stuff!)

So I'm missing my bling. Before you jump to conclusions let me tell you why and how! Jimmy and I are getting our wedding bands made! Mines is going to fit my e-ring, so they jeweller had to take it. My wedding band is going to be encrusted with diamonds along the top half of the ring.. more bling! :D Jimmy's ring looks pretty kewls too.. modern looking :) I will take pics of them when I get them!! Because it feels weird when there is no ring on that finger, I had to buy a dummy-ring. But I couldn't go cheap.. my skin can't handle non-precious metals (thus the rash developing around my pinky finger due to my Iron Ring... I'm not taking that off.. that was 5 years of blood and sweat to get that ring!). So I blew $45 on a silver ring at one of those ring stores @ Pacific Mall.

This long weekend was pretty eventful! I went to a wedding reception as Flo's date :D hehe! It was Malaika's (an old highschool friend of ours) wedding. I havn't seen her in a while.. she looked so beautiful! Her and her new husband make such a lovely couple! And I got to see some old schoolmates I havn't seen since the last day of OAC!

I got sent down to Detroit this Tuesday. The good thing about going down after a long weekend was the fact that I had the rental all weekend long.. and my company paid for my gas :D Sucky thing was, I got stuck at the border for about an hour. It was partially due to the volume of cars and the fact that I was carrying parts over the border... I had to go into customs and pay some trucking fee. And on top of that I really had to pee. I think I did the pee-dance for an hour! haha! That wasn't fun at all! After the meeting, two of the ladies in my meeting told me to hit this mall called Somerset located in Troy, which was about a 15 min drive from where I was. They actually told me about this mall last time I met with them, and the said it was huge. They weren't kidding.. this mall was massive! Imagine a huge road, with a mall on either side of the mall, connected by a skywalk. This mall had a Macy's, Neimen Marcus, Tiffany's... you name it they had it! I walked in.. went into a total of 3 stores (I only had 30 min) and managed to spend a little $100. And I was able to sneak it past the border guard! Bonus!

I've been majorly stressing about my wedding, partially because over the last 2 months I've been second guessing my photographer. She's a great lady and all, but I feel like her style of photography didn't quite suit my taste anymore. So I went out and started interviewing more photographers. I have it narrowed down to one (which I will reveal once I book him/her... hopefully I'll send out an email tonight!). Anyway, so I called up the photographer I had booked and told her I was going to take my business elsewhere. It was by far the hardest thing I've had to do. She tried to convince me to stay with her, telling me the style I want is what she's trying to get into, but she just needs to find a client that will give her a chance. Unfortnately, I'm not the chance-taking type when it comes to my wedding. But I'm so relieved that's over and done with, and that I found myself an awesome photographer that takes photos in the style I'm looking for! On a bad note, I lost my deposit... $345...

Wow I'm going for broke!
